Payment plans
Payment plans are offered to enable students to pay fees in instalments, rather than in one payment.
If a payment plan is broken, fees will become due immediately.
The University will not continually renegotiate payment plans.
Overdue tuition fees may lead to sanctions and withdrawal from your course. All other fees and charges will be referred to a collection agency and legal action.
The standard payment terms for University debt are found in the student debt policy.
Home students can set up any remaining tuition fees when they complete online registration. When students register in September, the following payment plans are available:
- Home students: 33% due in October, 33% due in January and 34% due in April or May.
When students register in January, the following payment plans are available:
- Home students: 33% due in January, 33% due in April and 34% due in August.
For non-standard start dates outside of September and January, alternative term-based plans will be offered when you go through online registration. If you would like confirmation of the payment plan months in advance, please contact income.team@solent.ac.uk.

After paying the initial 50% of fees, overseas students are able to set up the following payment plans for their remaining fees, during online registration:

For courses lasting less than one year, payment is due in full prior to registration.
All prior year tuitions fees must be paid in fully before enrolling onto the next year.
To continue with the remainder of the payment plan, the payment must be made within 10 days, otherwise the outstanding fees will be due immediately.
